This private Barcelona walkingtour features Barcelona’s Old Town (Casc Antic). Barcelona has managed to maintain one of the biggest and best preserved Medieval districts in Europe. Old Town is also Barcelona’s most popular and liveliest areas.

Your private Barcelona walking tour will begin with the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), exploring its maze of narrow, winding streets and lanes on foot. Your private expert guide will take you on a walk past ancient Roman walls to the Gothic Cathedral, pointing out the gargoyles of domestic and mythical animals on its roof, and its cloister. You may opt for an interior visit here. Your guide will also take you past historical landmarks such as Pça. del Rei (former site of the Royal Palace), Pça. Sant Jaume with the Generalitat and City Hall buildings, and the former Jewish Quarter.

Next you will continue on to another key part of Old Town: the Ribera (shore) district, where sailors, traders and craftsmen lived and worked during the Middle Ages. You will pass the Santa María del Mar church, which dates from the 14th century.

Finally, your private Barcelona tour will conclude at the Rambla, a tree-lined pedestrian mall, where you can rest at an open-air terrace and watch the crowds.

This tour can be customized to suit your interests, for example an optional visit to the Picasso Museum or the Gothic Cathedral interior.
